Thanks for the memories Bob... I was on the staff at Dinfos (your former home) and Lt D's (OIC) wife worked in the Front office pregnant with twins.  Talk about not knowing how to start  a conversation.

I knew John Anderson personally.   He was my NCOIC at AFKN-Radio Gypsy, at Camp Kaiser, Korea.   Good man.   Died too young.

I was John Anderson’s Escort Officer during Operation Homecoming at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX….A good man and a very good friend.

Remembering Det 5 -- today in history -- 1968 --
Detachment 5 AFVN Hue was overun. 
After a fierce firefight AFVN'ers - both military and civilians -- died.
Others were taken prisoner and held till the end of the war.
It's a good day to remember these fine people.
Best wishes,

Bob M
